GMC ACADIA IS PLACED IN "PARK," CLEARLY SHOWN ON THE DASH BOARD WITH THE "P" HIGHLIGHTED RED. WHEN THE POWER BUTTON IS PRESSED, A "SHIFT TO PARK" ALERT POPS UP AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LEAVE THE CAR. THIS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE TO WORK THIS MORNING. THEN TONIGHT, AFTER WORKING A 12 HOUR SHIFT AT THE HOSPITAL ON THANKSGIVING, I HAD TO SIT IN MY GARAGE FOR 20 MINUTES TRYING TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF.

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, IT OFTEN DOES NOT SHOW THAT IT IS IN PARK. IT WILL ROLL, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. TO GET IT TO WORK, YOU MUST RESTART THE CAR AND MOVE THE SHIFTER IN AND OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2020 GMC ACADIA I GET AN ERROR ON THE DISPLAY "SD CARD REMOVED" ALONG WITH VARIOUS OTHER ERROR MESSAGES. DEALER TALKS TO GMC TECH LINE AND THEY ADVISE TO REPLACE RADIO. RADIO WAS REPLACED AND ERRORS BEGAN SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP. DEALER IS REPLACING RADIO AGAIN, BUT UNSURE IF THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK AS INTENDED AS WHEN YOU PRESS THE NAV BUTTON VARIOUS ERROR MESSAGES POP UP AND NAVIGATION DOES NOT WORK.

SERVICE BRAKES
RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2020 ACADIA DENALI. WHEN PARKING AT ANY INCLINE THE PARKING BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON. DEALER IS NOT SURE WHY, BUT NO WHERE IN THE MANUAL DOES IT STATE THIS IS NORMAL. TO DISENGAGE BRAKE VEHICLE HAS TO BE PUT IN GEAR WITH FOOT ON BRAKE TO TURN OFF. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOULD TURN OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK WITH FOOT ON BRAKE BUT IT DOES NOT. DEALER IS UNSURE OF ISSUE AND HAS AN OPEN CASE WITH GMC TO INVESTIGATE.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK I GET A WARNING THAT SAYS MY CAR IS NOT IN PARK ACTION REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE BELL CONTINUES TO DING AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE CAR. MY FEAR IS GETTING OUT THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTING TO ROLL NOT KNOWING IF THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY IN PARK. THIS IS VERY SCARY NOT KNOWING IF IT IS SAFE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND DID NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE POWER OFF. SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE WOULD NOT GO AWAY EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS CLEARLY IN PARK. I HAD TO TRY 10-15 TIMES TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN OTHER GEARS AND PARK AGAIN AND TURNING ON AND OFF UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IF I JUST LEAVE IT WITH THE MESSAGE THERE THE CAR EVENTUALLY DRAINS MY BATTERY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WEEK DURING SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND AM CONCERNED IT COULD DRIVE AWAY ON ITS OWN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND I CAN'T GET THE MESSAGE TO TURN OFF. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
